VIDEO: Fan in bizarre attack on goalkeeper for time-wasting during live TV match

Wycombe Wanderers goalkeeper Jordan Archer was the victim of an idiotic attack by a Gillingham supporter during the closing stages of the away side's 1-0 victory at Priestfield Stadium on Monday night.

The fan ran out from the home Rainham End and jumped on the on-loan Tottenham keeper as he prepared to take a goal kick during injury time.

Stewards quickly dragged the youth from the pitch. Archer, 19, had been booked for time wasting moments before..

Shameful: The fan can been seen leaping onto the unsuspecting goalkeeper

Gillingham manager Martin Allen was furious after the game and said the supporters's actions were 'absolutely crazy' and that they were 'not a true reflection of our football club.'

He said: 'As a football club we can't condone (what happened). None of us are happy with that. Our supporters have been fantastic but for one person to do something like that is crazy.

'I'm sure when he wakes up he'll be shocked, disappointed in himself. It's not a true reflection of the club since I've been here.'

Matt McClure hit a late 85th minute winner for the Chairboys as Gillingham missed the chance to return to the top of League Two.

Ainsworth later added: 'He (the fan) will be dealt with by Gillingham and the authorities. I want to concentrate on the football really, what he did was wrong and he's given the rest of the Gillingham fans a bad name and they'll be as annoyed as anyone.

'I don't think it hurt the keeper. Jordan's a tough lad.'

Kent Police later confirmed a man had been arrested.

A spokesman said: 'A 17-year-old was arrested on suspicion of assault and is currently in custody following an incident in the 93rd minute of the Gillingham v Wycombe match last night.'

BRENTFORD GOALKEEPER RICHARD LEE GIVES HIS VIEW

Although these incidents are thankfully rare, it is worrying as a goalkeeper to see any attack like this.

It shows how easy it is for fans to get onto the pitch and it's alarming that they aren't checked for weapons when they come in to the ground.

The last thing you want to see is a return to the high fences and the dark old days but we need to see incidents stamped out now.

Banter between the goalkeeper and the fans is all part of the game.

I have a ritual where I'll clap both sets of fans behind the goal - now, nine times out of ten, they'll boo me but that's all part of it.

You get the usual shouts, many of which aren't relevant to the actual game.

Sometimes you do answer back - I was getting some stick at Portsmouth recently, so I said something back at the final whistle when we won.

It doesn't take a great deal of intelligence and common sense to realise it's all part of the theatre of football - but the kind of incident we saw last night certainly shouldn't be.

Kirkland shoved by Leeds fan

A thug was jailed for four months after he ran onto the pitch and attacked Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Chris Kirkland in front of television cameras and a packed stadium.

Aaron Cawley, 21, from Cheltenham, pleaded guilty to assault and invading the pitch after he shoved Kirkland to the ground in a shocking display during a match against Leeds United at Hillsborough Stadium on Friday night.

Former England keeper Kirkland was shoved to the ground moments after conceding an equaliser in the 76th minute.

Cawley was clearly seen running on to the pitch and pushing the keeper in the face before running back into the crowd. Stunned goalkeeper Kirkland fell to the ground after the attack and was attended to by medics.

The shocking scenes were caught on camera by Sky Sports which was broadcasting the derby game.

Cawley wore a blue T-shirt at today's hearing, exposing an 'LUFC' tattoo on his neck and a Leeds United club crest on his right arm.

Sheffield Magistrates Court heard the 21-year-old had been the subject of two football banning orders in the past, which he had breached four times.

Enckelman confronted on pitch

A Birmingham City fan who invaded the pitch to taunt opposition players at a local derby has been jailed for four months.

Michael Harper was 'overcome with emotion' when Aston Villa goalkeeper Peter Enckelman allowed an own goal during the match on 16 September.

The 26-year-old of Leafield Road, Solihull, was also banned from attending any designated football matches for the next six years when he appeared at Birmingham Magistrates Court.

At a previous hearing, the building labourer admitted one count of encroaching the playing surface at City's St Andrews ground and another of using threatening behaviour during the game

The court had heard Harper, who holds a City season ticket, approached Aston Villa goalkeeper Peter Enckelman after running on to the pitch to celebrate City's second goal in the 3-0 win.

He later admitted to police he had invaded the pitch three times and was abusive towards Aston Villa players.

District judge Richard Clancy told Harper his behaviour was so serious that it warranted a jail sentence.

'Other people that saw your conduct are in a situation where a message must go out to them,' he said
